Student bus accident on Mojkovac-Kolašin highway

Overview

On September 19, 2026, a bus carrying approximately 90 students from Podgorica was involved in a traffic accident on the Mojkovac-Kolašin highway near Štitarička Rijeka. The incident occurred when a rockfall from a hillside forced the driver to attempt an evasion, causing the bus to strike a rock embankment.

Five people were injured in the collision: a 28-year-old tour leader sustained serious injuries, including a fractured pelvis and vertebra, while four students from Pavle Rovinski Primary School suffered minor injuries. The 53-year-old Serbian driver was arrested on charges of serious offenses against public traffic safety, though authorities confirmed he was not under the influence of alcohol.

Following the incident, the director of Pavle Rovinski Primary School, Nataša Popović, issued a formal letter of thanks to the Mojkovac Security Department. The school commended the professionalism and humanity shown by police officers during the emergency response.
